Ellaville (Ga.) Schley County five-star linebacker Zayden Walker has officially made his college plans. The No. 29 overall prospect in the 2025 On3 Industry Rankings has signed with Georgia on National Signing Day.
The Bulldogs landed Walker’s pledge back on June 6. Walker saw programs like South Carolina and Miami become real contenders for him before following his heart to Georgia.
Walker’s older brother, Jalewis Solomon plays for South Carolina and the Gamecocks were a real option for the five-star linebacker as well.
Walker connected with Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann. The five-star felt the Bulldogs could develop him over the long haul.
